Bug#1122232: golang-github-apptainer-sif: please make the build reproducible

Source: golang-github-apptainer-sif
Version: 2.20.2-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
golang-github-apptainer-sif could not be built reproducibly.

This was because debian/rules populated the "keys/" and "images/"
directories if the tests are run, but only cleaned up images/. This
means that if the tests are skipped, then the binary package will
have different contents.

A patch is attached that removes keys/ unconditionally, but if the binary
package really needs these files for some reason (eg. autopkgtests)
then the packaging will need rejigging/
